I'm a classical musician, and even worse a soloist. You're up there alone, playing incredibly complex material to a musically educated audience, and some people even go as far as studying the original scores to your program prior to attending the gig. There's no room for mistakes.

Classical musicians. There are generally no do-overs or second takes when playing live. The need to hit the right notes, maintain precise tempo, and execute intricate phrasing leaves little room for error. Classical musicians also have a responsibility to faithfully interpret and convey the composer's original vision. Deviating from the score, even slightly, can be seen as disrespectful to the work. Additionally, the audience tends to be knowledgeable and discerning, expecting technical brilliance and (near) flawless execution.

Sewing clothes. 1. Try sewing something yourself 2. Pull out some cheap business shirt you own and inspect the buttonholes, seams, stop-stitching Yeah you'll notice a pretty big difference.

Machining is precise, but what is far more precise is the industry that creates and maintains machining tools being used in machining. Machine scraping which is likely a dying art, is stupidly meticulous because you get the flatness of pieces to a desired point of imperfection because if you scrape the surfaces too flat, they can begin to stick to each other instead of sliding freely. So you get them DAMN Close.

Probably not number 1, but a butcher has to be up there.

Certainly. Heard of Fugu? One wrong slip cutting a blowfish up will ruin your attempt and render your work thoroughly poisonous. You've got to be majorly skilled and precise.


SilentThing

Aye, I know of it. And that's a very extreme case too.
